Went to a fabulous jubilat/Jones reading this past Sunday in Amherst, featuring the phenomenal Ben Lerner, as well as Kimiko Hahn, both of whom were gracious readers. I got up the nerve to shake Ben Lerner's hand & later apologized for asking for a signed copy of his book (::head desk::).He's only 31. The world is unfair. (I promise I have intelligent commentary about his latest book, Mean Free Path, forthcoming in the next issue of Rain Taxi).
Natalie Lyalin is also reading TOMORROW at 7 PM with poet Michael Earl Craig in the Augusta Savage Gallery, New Africa House, UMass. I'm excited to meet the woman behind GlitterPony & the author of Pink & Hot Pink Habitat. Her chapbook from Ugly Duckling Presse, Try A Little Time Travel, also hits the spot. If you you're in the Valley (& shouldn't you be?), I hope you can come!
